Does working for 150+ million children of Bharat excite you?

Then this opportunity is for you!

About us:

ConveGenius is an AI-native education infrastructure company transforming how governments, enterprises, and social institutions deliver learning and governance outcomes at population scale. Operating across B2G and B2B segments, the company partners with state governments, CSR funders, philanthropies, and social enterprises to build intelligent education ecosystems that are both impactful and commercially sustainable.

At its core, ConveGenius runs two synergistic business lines:

SwiftAI – the intelligence and automation layer that powers citizen engagement, governance efficiency, and real-time decision-making for governments and institutions.
SwiftSchool – the learning infrastructure layer that integrates adaptive learning, digital classrooms, and analytics to drive measurable student and system outcomes.

This dual-engine model enables ConveGenius to serve as the technology backbone for education reform — connecting classrooms, communities, and command centres through a unified AI-powered framework. Unlike traditional edtech companies that deliver content, ConveGenius builds infrastructure — platforms that integrate deeply into public delivery systems while enabling private and philanthropic partners to scale their missions with measurable results.

With operations across 22+ Indian states and partnerships with multilaterals, CSR alliances, and government departments, ConveGenius has established itself as a partner-friendly enterprise trusted for aligning policy priorities with social and financial returns. Supported by institutional investors and guided by a double bottom line philosophy, the company consistently delivers impact at scale and profitability with purpose.

As ConveGenius enters its next phase of growth, it is shaping the future of AI-led public education infrastructure — where technology, partnerships, and governance intelligence converge to redefine how nations learn and thrive.

Role Overview: As the Information Security and GRC Lead, you will own governance, risk management, compliance, privacy, information security governance, and AI governance across platforms. You will build the enterprise GRC framework that ensures the platform meets its regulatory obligations, manages risk systematically, and embeds a security-first culture into its processes.

Build and own the enterprise GRC framework: governance structure, risk register, compliance calendar, and control library.
Lead compliance initiatives across applicable frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC2, DPDP Act, IT Act, and government sector requirements.
Manage audits end-to-end: internal audits, external certifications, government audits, and remediation tracking.
Define privacy governance standards: data classification, retention policies, consent frameworks, and DPDP compliance.
Establish AI governance frameworks in collaboration with AI security and platform teams.
Drive policy creation, review cycles, and compliance reporting for internal and external stakeholders.
Identify, assess, and mitigate technology, security, and operational risks across all business and engineering functions.
Build and maintain compliance metrics, risk dashboards, and reporting frameworks for leadership and board-level visibility.
Manage stakeholder relationships across business, technology, legal, and leadership teams on all GRC matters.

Must-have skills:

Strong experience in Governance, Risk Management, Compliance, and Information Security programs
Deep understanding of regulatory compliance, audit frameworks, and risk assessment methodologies
Experience implementing security policies, controls, standards, and governance processes across large organizations
Strong knowledge of data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements
Experience managing internal/external audits, compliance reviews, and remediation programs
Ability to identify, assess, and mitigate technology, security, and operational risks
Strong stakeholder management skills with experience working across business, technology, and leadership teams
